If one wants to point to a reason American children are falling behind other nations' students in school and are obese, they should look no further than this study which implicates all groups, but especially minority groups children. Whether this relates to more parents having to work and not supervising children and turning to electronic babysitting or whatever, it is a disturbing trend.

It analysed race data from a 2010 study on media use among 2,000 8 to 18-year-olds and compared it to another 2006 study on another 2,000 children from birth to 6 years old.

It also found that minority youth media consumption rates outpace their white counterparts by approximately an hour for music, up to one and a half hours for computer use, and 30 to 40 minutes for playing video games.

'In the past decade, the gap between minority and white youth's daily media use has doubled for blacks and quadrupled for Hispanics,' said Northwestern Professor Ellen Wartella, who co-authored the study.
